July at Rally: Long Live Summer

Every summer has its traditions. Maybe yours is watching Wimbledon with a Pimm's Cup in hand. Maybe it's spending the Fourth on the lake. Maybe it's celebrating another trip around the sun with the people you love.

Some traditions are hundreds of years in the making. Others begin on an ordinary Thursday night with a pitcher shared among friends. The funny thing about traditions is that they don't have to be old to matter.

This July, America turns 250. Rally turns three. Henrietta's turns one. As we celebrate these milestones, we've been reflecting on the traditions we're building and we're incredibly grateful that somewhere along the way, Rally has become part of so many of yours. The $20 Tuesday crew. Thursday night league. Friday morning Courts & Coffee. The standing reservation. The annual tournament. The doubles partner who started as a stranger.

Those are our favorite kinds of traditions. The ones that grow quietly over time until one day you realize you can't imagine summer without them. Here's everything happening at Rally this July.

Two Iconic Round Robins, Two Very Different Dress Codes

The World Cup has reminded us that few things bring people together quite like a little friendly competition. This month we leaned into that spirit with two Round Robins inspired by opposite sides of the Atlantic.

The Independence Day Round Robin presented by Sunny's Hard Lemonade kicked things off on July 4th. Teams battled through group stages, Sunny Stars cocktails were flowing, the all-Americana playlist was on, and the courts were full of people celebrating the Fourth the Rally way. It was a good one.

If you missed it, now's your chance to make it right. Dust off your Wimbledon whites for the Wimbledon Round Robin on Sunday, July 12th. Save room for some post-match strawberries and cream — don't question it, it's tradition. Morning and afternoon sessions available, all levels welcome. Sign up as a doubles pair or fly solo and we'll find you a partner.

Let's Make Thursdays a Thing

Starting this month, award-winning trivia hosts Mindless Minutia joins Rally every Thursday night for al fresco Team Trivia on the lawn. Grab your crew, bring your best useless knowledge, and settle in for a night of friendly competition under the stars.

Pair it with our new For the Team Thursday special — $5 off all large format cocktails, beer pitchers, and group coolers — and you've got a pretty compelling reason to make Thursday nights a standing plan. Every Thursday at 7 PM on the lawn.

Singles Social is Back with Two New Themes

There's a reason Singles Social keeps selling out. Rally's monthly program for singles is back with two themed editions in July. Greece vs. Grease on July 11th — Santorini meets Sandy and Danny, dress the part, first drink included. Then Love Island on July 25th — the villa has arrived at Rally, show up in your best Islander look, and let the rotational format do the coupling up for you.

Come solo. Leave with someone worth texting back.

Hot Girls Hangout: Canvas & Cocktails

Because making friends shouldn't be hard. Hot Girls Hangout is back July 15th with a canvas and paint supplies, craft cocktails, and a room full of girls ready to meet their people. A low-pressure girls' night with an open seat just for you. A night for the girls, by the girls. Come hang.

Rally Rascals Rolls On

Summer camp is in full swing and spots are still available for the July sessions. Rally Rascals Pickleball Club continues with sessions July 13 to 16 for ages 6 to 9 and July 20 to 23 for ages 10 to 13. A packed week of pickleball, games, chef-prepared lunch, new friendships, and coming home completely wiped in the best possible way. Spots are limited so grab yours before they're gone.

Save the Date: RallyFest is August 7th

Our biggest celebration of the year is coming back next month. TheFourth Annual RallyFest isAugust 7th. One night of non-stop play, live music, food, drinks, and everything we love most about Rally packed into one unforgettable evening. Early bird tickets are available now, so grab yours before the price goes up.

July is Just Getting Started

Three years in and Rally is just hitting its stride. Whether you're showing up for the competition, the community, or just a really good Thursday night, July has something worth showing up for. Come be part of the tradition.
